Electric landscape edger

Why We Chose It

The Greenworks 21272 trimmer is the best in its price range because it doesn’t pretend to be anything it’s not. It's not gas-powered, so you can avoid the delightful experience of inhaling fumes and the joy of engine maintenance. Its 5.5 amp motor is like the Clark Kent of trimmers—quiet and efficient without the need for a cape. The 15-inch cutting path is perfect for those who want to spend less time trimming and more time contemplating the meaning of life—or just enjoying a cold drink. The automatic dual-line feed is a godsend for those who think stopping to fix the line is akin to watching paint dry. And, with its adjustable handle, it accommodates everyone from the vertically challenged to the towering giants among us. It’s the perfect tool for those who want their lawn to look good without sacrificing their weekend to the lawn gods.

What It Does

• Trims grass like a lawn-obsessed ninja.
• Switches to edge mode like it's changing TV channels.
• Adjusts to your height—no platform shoes needed.
• Runs quietly, unlike your neighbor's chainsaw.

What It Doesn't Do

• Won't power your house in a blackout.
• Not a substitute for a gym workout—sadly.
• Won't make you the neighborhood lawn icon.
• Doesn't work well underwater... or in space.

Tech Specs

• 5.5 Amp motor—because amps matter.
• 15-inch cutting path—size does count.
• .065-inch dual-line—because single is boring.
• Adjustable handle—perfect for Goldilocks.
